pappysniper Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 HI everyone I've got a site built from a cms which uses pageID's etc, you have the facility to use mod-rewrite to change the url's to html extensions. When I turn it on I get page not found on this server or you don't have permission.when I question this with the people who built the cms apparently you are supposed to just turn it on and away you go. I was wondering if any could explain the correct way to use this facility. thanks for any helpUploadAproperty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megan Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 HI go int0 your server folder\drive\usr\local\apache2\conf and open the httpd.conf file in a TEXT editor scroll down a little to the area where you see the list of modules to load make sure that the line loading mod_rewrite is NOT commented out LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so Not #LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so then go to udrive\www\ and open the .htaccess file in a TEXT editor add the following lines and save Options +FollowSymLinks RewriteEngine On your mod_rewrite should now work hth ~megan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
